One-Pan Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta

Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season generously with ranch seasoning powder.

Heat avocado oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it is mostly cooked but still slightly pink inside.

Add the dry ziti pasta directly into the skillet with the chicken.

Pour in the entire box of chicken broth. Stir everything together until the pasta is mostly submerged.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook until the pasta is about halfway done.

Uncover the skillet and stir. Add the bacon bits, a large dollop of whipped cream cheese, and the slices of pepper jack cheese.

Stir until the cheeses have melted and created a creamy sauce.

Add the frozen peas and stir to combine.

Place the lid back on, turn the heat down to low, and let it simmer for a few more minutes until the pasta is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.

Give it a final stir, serve immediately, and enjoy.
